To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

People will always find ways to praise shit. We're in kpop for the visuals right? I suppose staring at tits and ass all video long is considered visual stimulation.
I agree Expectation is better, but Female President MV is certainly interesting. I kept watching to the end just to see how far they'll go in pushing censorship boundaries.

Agreed, seems like everyone hates everything in this thread though lol. I was scrolling through the first 100 pages or so and everyone hates all my favorite songs :[
After 5 years of just lurking on teamliquid, I can't believe I'm creating an account just to rant about this specific topic... As you may have heard or will soon hear, Se7en, Sanchu, Rain (Bi) and KCM were involved in that stupid after partying during military duty scandal.
Se7en, Sanchu: caught partying beyond curfew in regular street clothes using personal cellphones, caught entering two happy ending massage parlors, attempted to break reporters' camera. - In their defense: "I have a bad back and a bad knee" - Then why did the other follow you to the massage parlor? ... no answer..
Rain, KCM: caught partying beyond curfew in regular street clothes using personal cellphones - First offense for KCM, but happens to be the 2nd for Bi in quite the short time period.
This is so royally frustrating every time I hear these kinds of scandals because it truly is unfair to the regular person serving in the military. All praise to my parents, I am lucky enough, as a Korean, to not have to serve in the military due to my citizenship status, but I have developed many friendships with numerous out of country Koreans studying in my city being unable to complete or further pursue their studies due to their military engagements back home. From what I heard, EVERYONE in the military knows that celebrities get some kind of special treatment, whether small or large. The high officers know it, the government knows it and the public knows it as well from all the exemplified stories from past serviced men. (To put this in perspective, its like everyone knows that people pirate stuff from the internet whether small or large, but barely anything is done about it...) Celebrities MC events, perform on shows (hence rehearse/travel, therefore less hours doing real military stuff), celebrities can easily lobby themselves out of hard-labor duties and go for the so-called easier duties, etc. (but SO many other examples). As for celebrities who actually do decide to go through the things that regular healthy men go through, they still get special treatment, but on a very lower scale, but still, it makes your life easier nonetheless. For example, if you're a regular guy and happen to be lucky enough to be apart of a troop or share a room/tent with a celebrity, you will notice these subtle benefits and how it makes your life a lot more easier during those 20 months.
I just feel they should just stop with all the celebrity event mc'ing and performing b.s. because NO ONE in the military wants to watch male singers on stage. It's not 5 different songs of se7en they want, but just one minute from Sistar, 4minute, GsD, etc. In actuality, many people get annoyed when a male performer is there on stage. Hence, that would eliminate a lot of the unnecessary vacation time these celebrities get.
BTW: Kim Tae Hee needs to find herself another boyfriend because that dude is seriously tarnishing her almost perfect image. And I expect some split announcement from Park Han Byul very soon, if not, that girl lacking some serious self-respect.

to be fair the major groups/releases have been pretty shitty this year

Her perfect image was already blemished just to be associated with Bi Relative to the whole scandal thing, I want to think the whole happyendingmassageparlortrip is just one of those weird bro things guys do together, like going to a strip club with a bunch of dudes? or does that only happen in murica?
anyhow, the only celebs now left with clean images are Park Bo Young and Han Ji Min \o/
That's what I meant: the first pool party thing (t-ara in las vegas) was really depressing and awkward, this one is afaik the second one, and therefore it doesn't sound like a good idea and what have you :X

Did you miss the GsD recent one? was just posted like a page ago. Pretty damn awkward as well.

I think that the difference is that these are held in Korea, therefore no Chris Brown cutoffs and 20somethings who don't care about kpop wondering what the fuck you're doing there.
Japanese Shinee album completely underwhelming, my favourite song on there was Fire which they released a while ago.
About the army dudes, so sad for their GF's. I don't know how frustrated most korean men are about having to enlist, but I would be pissed if celebrities were abusing their fame like that.
